Price Reduction on Historic Wilmington Home

This late 18th century stone Delaware historic home is in the finest traditions of the English-influenced early mill owner homes in the Brandywine Valley. But rather than being built by one of the Quaker millers in nearby Brandywine Village who used the Brandywine Creek to power their mills, Henry Webster was a member of the Holy Trinity Church (Old Swedes). His marriage to Sara Stedham is recorded in their 1755 register. And his gristmill was on the Shellpot Creek, which fed into the Brandywine.

 

        Henry Webster house

It was in the 1930's that this early Wilmington historic home became the nucleus of a new community, Brandywine Hills. It was at this time that the surrounding land was transferred from Brandywine Hundred to become a part of the City of Wilmington, Delaware. It was also when the well known local architect, George Pope, changed the early interior to the more modern (in the 1930's) Colonial Revival style. The basement joists are still the original tree trunks, and the thick stone walls still shelter this old beauty from the whatever storms come their way.

The price of this historic Delaware home has been reduced from $315,000 to $310,000. Details on the website for the historic Henry Webster house.
